You won't get back your warranty and un-locking the bootloader again means a full system wipe, again. So make a backup first.
The only big advantage of a locked bootloader is the added security when the device falls into the wrong hands. That's a bit of a double edged sword since it also forbids easy data recovery in the case of defective hard- or software.
fastboot oem lock begin
When trying to run "fastboot oem lock," fastboot tells me to run "fastboot oem lock begin," first. In turn, that command tells me to fully flash the signed build before I can lock it.
I've tried flashing "LUX_RETCA_6.0.1_MPD24.107-52_cid14_subsidy-TELUS_CFC" from the filefactory repository, and I'm downloading "XT1563_LUX_RETCA_6.0.1_MPD24.107-52_cid14_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC" now, which will take all day.
Does anyone know if either of those builds are signed? Or is there an official motorola repository that I should look for?
I got the phone with MM, so I don't know if a 5.1.1 image will count as signed for the purpose of relocking.
This phone has been such a headache, never buying a Motorola device again...

Don't tell like this. When you unlock bootloader , you are accept to void your warranty and there is no go back. Even relock your bootloader it will be shown as relocked and not shown as locked . This is my 5 th moto after e 1gen, g2gen,g3 turbo, g3gen. After nexus and opo , moto phones have good development than any others .

That's nice and all but it's been a headache for me. Voiding my warranty doesn't excuse faulty hardware, it just means that motorola can disown their sloppy product. It's still poor hardware and it still has nothing to do with rooting.

If my phone *doesn't work* because of hardware defects, then the hardware in it is of poor quality. It's not about how the phone stacks up to other devices. It's that the phone I paid for is defective. Not sure where the confusion arises.

Now you're arguing semantics. Poor hardware, faulty hardware, the thing remains that it's a crappy, broken device. Doesn't matter what label you want to slap on it, I can't afford another one, and they'll blame me for a problem that has nothing to do with root. So, it's bad.

I assume you were asking the OP, but I thought I would add my two cents as they may be helpful.
When trying to type "fastboot oem lock" and receiving the warning to type "fastboot oem lock begin" first, I was a little confused, as typing both in a row did not work. I presume that it's due to a difference in hardware model, (mine is having more than enough weird issues to make that a reasonable assumption.)
The solution was to type "fastboot oem lock begin," go through the commands in this post, then type "fastboot oem lock" at the end. I avoided the final two commands, and it still showed software status as modified, so perhaps including those as well would fix that. Either way, the bootloader status was set back to "Locked" (not "Relocked.") Hope that helps someone, as this POS refuses to charge and I may as well throw it in the trash!

Unfortunately your warranty is void due to your request for the unlocking code from moto. Your only hope is koodo has its own repair facility and the tech who tries to repair your device has no brains or desire to verify that your bootloader was unlocked.
We've all had from time to time issues with our devices , I've had 4 moto devices and not once have I had any issues with the build quality, moto x 2013, nexus 6, moto 360 and the moto play.

Hi,
Nexus S is possible to re-lock bootloader with command 'fastboot oem lock'.
Anyone tried it with Nexus one?? (With updated SDK)
Please try it...
It only works if you have an S-OFF HBOOT. Not many people do.
does all the nexus s can be relocked?
Yep, so it seems.
why is this not in the NEXUS S forum instead of nexus one ?

Because it supposedly void your warranty, but it seems htc is fixing them anyway. However, if one day they decided to screw you over and say they won't fix it because you unlocked the bootloader, there's probably nothing you can do.

True enough. If you are really that worried about the warranty (even though HTC has yet to refuse warranty on a device with an unlocked bootloader). Then you shouldn't unlock. Although the warranty states that installing a third-party OS voids the warranty as well, so you'd better make darn sure that you remove all traces of rooting, etc.
I personally don't care about the warranty, because HTC sends you refurbished devices as warranty replacements, and I would rather buy a new one than get a refurb. And besides, my 1-year warranty period is almost up anyway, and I would not buy/want another Nexus One. It will be outdated soon, i.e., once HTC releases some nice aluminum, dual-core devices!
Rusty, what's the actual advantage in being able to relock your bootloader? Is it just to see what capabilities you do/don't have when locked/unlocked?

I wouldn't either since it is so easy to unlock the bootloader. I understand your hesitation with the warranty question being up in the air.
Unlocking the bootloader does not void the warranty, and is pretty easy to do. We won't find an exploit to root without unlocking for quite awhile so I would suggest just unlocking it.

Very few will spend time to find an exploit when root is just on the other side of an unlocked bootloader.
I'm not sure why you'd be hesitant to unlock the bootloader, there are no negative effects, only benefits.

From what I have read it DOES void the warranty
The following applies to all devices, except for Developer Edition devices:
Obtaining an unlock code voids all warranties. Once you get the unlock code, your
device is no longer covered by the Motorola warranty, or any other warranty provided
with the device. Neither Motorola, nor your wireless carrier shall have any duty to
provide warranty or customer support for unlocked devices.

But yeah, bootloader unlock is a must on every device, I am unlocking mine in a few weeks, wanna make sure everything is working fine just in case.
Read on a local forums that the 6P has QFuse. He has the device. What does does mean for development? All I know about QFuses is that once it is blown, you can't go back to the original state.

Figured this was the right subforums :angel:
its just a switch. a non-reversible switch. it's used for a single purpose - warranty claims. if you unlock your bootloader and your device "suddenly" becomes unresponsive, manufacturers have the right to deny your warranty claim.
google's nexus program typically does not follow this rule as they encourage the development and use of their devices, but as they work to make android more secure, i would not put it past them to start down the same path as the rest of the OEMs. Moto has stated that they will void your warranty if you unlock the bootloader on the XPE, even though they offer you the path to do so.
its a security risk and google should offer a path to root without compromising your system's integrity.

They cannot deny your warranty for hardware issues once the fuse is blown.
US law prevents the denial; The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Look at Moto's back pedal after it was posted that it was against federal law to deny warranty claims for unrelated issues.

got a link? when the XPE launched, they flip-flopped and then it was "official". i just assumed they kept their stance.
i know for the '13/'14 X developer editions they tried the same thing and then changed their minds.
Well US laws does not help people outside the US. Has Google every publicly stated that hardware issues with Nexus devices will be services, regardless if the bootloader is unlocked or not?
in the past, they've been good about warranties. i've heard many levels of success stories when dealing with Google directly (vs. buying through third party, amazon, etc.).
qfuse enabled usually means that secure boot is on.. nothing to do with unlocking the bootloader. just about all phones have this set. secure boot enabled forces phone to have signed bootloader. oem unlock enables unsigned boot.img's.. but still requires signed bootloader.
has anyone checked for the qfuse enabled/disabled BEFORE unlocking?
I've seen an image with it enabled as a stock phone (the thread with the guy answering questions)

Yeah I doubt Google would honestly try to deny a warranty claim for an obvious hardware defect if your bootloader was unlocked or the qfuse blown, but I guess it'd be of more concern if people bought directly from Huawei and what their stance is, if in fact the qfuse does get blown.
If QFuse is going to break anything like the finger print reader or your warranty then why would Google give you the official instructions on how to unlock the bootloader?

LG has every IMEI in a database that signed up to get an unlock.bin from them and may still be able to know you applied to unlock the device... even if there is no "Device Unlocked!" status on boot. Might fool a lazy LG employee or unsuspecting buyer.

For exactly that reason I re-locked my bootloader on my A2017G device. This camera buzzing / vibrating noise is happening to a lot of people.
Just my opinion. There are no ROMs for me that justify a Bootloader unlock since 7.1.1 is stable, fast, reliable and has good Hi-Fi Audio qualities.
It is not an issue of bootloader unlock that causes this.
The camera rotor/OIS is faulty and will be needed to be sent in for repair.

Or did you unlock then relock, then try to use the warranty and they found out?

Well that's a bit different though, because say a place like Newegg or BHPhoto don't know how to check, they just make sure it powers on and everything is in the package. Still appreciate the response.

I sent mine into ZTE for repair. No issues.

Thanks, I'd still like confirmation from a few others though just in case its not a fluke haha
I "officially" unlocked mine through the ZTE website (when it was offered).. I was notified that my warranty was voided before pressing OK and they stated that anything that unlocked the bootloader voided the warranty. But, if you do it unofficially and re-lock it, or get it through Amazon or NewEgg - How are they going to know, or even know what to check (at Amazon or NewEgg)?

That is true... i'm just cautious because my phone isn't perfect, I have the common camera problem. If it was fine and then down the line it developed, then w/e. But right now I Should exchanged it, it's just not big enough of a problem where I need to. And tbh I feel like it would just develop again, since so many people have it. If I see a S7 drop down around 350 I am just gonna get this fixed and buy a S7.
